Brief Answer:
Get done chest x ray and PFT.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of either post infectious bronchitis or lung infection is more likely.
So in my opinion, you should definitely consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
